Question 4
The rate of dehydrogenation of sec-butanol on a zinc oxide catalyst at 350°C and 1 atm has
been shown to be controlled by the rate of desorption of the hydrogen produced, the
surface reaction involving two unlike active sites. Show that the rate expression is of the
form:
r = K[PA/ PR- Ps/K]
1+ K2'(Pa/PR).
A = sec-butanol; R = ketone; S = hydrogen
